Stunning artwork
The picture and description don‘t do the sculpture justice - within the egg, there is a small elephant, which itself is also executed in intricate jali style. I bought this as a present, and the recipients were amazed by the level of detail and the great craftsmanship that went into the creation of this beautiful carving.
Beautiful, delightfu!, and meaningful!
I ordered these in addition to the soapstone carved box. I have a thing for elephants. They are beautifully carved and hold a carving within a carving. There is another smaller elephant just visible within. For me, it symbolically represents each of our species carry the future within, along with the wisdom and the hope to endure and survive. Elephant figurines with their trunks curved down represent wisdom and the abiity to overcome obstacles. I would like to think they speak to the even deeper wisdom carried within.....Ancestral and what is even deeper within us that is available to us to draw upon.
